Ugh!

I have been up since shortly after noon.  It was very warm yesterday, and until late.  I stayed up, trying to cool off the place... to little good.  I pretty much rode it into the morning.  Letting the ducks out, giving the girls a treat, then crashing hard.  I didn't sleep long, but sleep was good.   The upstairs is cool, mostly, but the heat is creeping in up there too.  Sleep won't be long until it begins cooling again.

Pure chastity is doing well.  I have been doing hail Mary's, three, to start back up into prayer, morning and night... when temptation is strongest.  I will next be adding an Our Father, then the other rosary prayers.  Then meditations.  And, finally, begin doing the rosary at least once a day.  With intentions.  Some days are random, other days are directed.  Such as a day for Father Ripperger and fellow exorcists on... one day a week will be set aside just for them.  Other days will have familial intentions, or church intentions... for priests, and the rest generally, a day for the whole of the church, and a few days will be open for special intentions.  Starting back up.  If I can do two a day, that would really allow a lot more intentions.

I have spent most of my day trying to get Verizon employees to get my voice messaging to work.  I have spoken with at least three employees, and some tech contacted BY what I thought WAS tech.  They don't seem to know what the problem is.  Nothing has worked.  I tried to call them a final time, after a disconnect.  They aren't answering.  They have disconnected the call twice.

I realized I am in trouble.  The reason I was trying to set up my messaging for certain, was because I haven't been able to contact the V.A., or reliably get them to call me back on the other number.  Or this number.  Or get through in any way recently.  They were needed to set up driver privileges, but I had no idea if they did so.  Last I heard, they hadn't even received the faxed forms!

So I found the, I hoped, drivers license bureau, called them to get an extension and another form.  It turns out the my doctor at the V.A. has applied the extension.  So, until next year, that is set.  Still, I have to call and get an appointment set up for a blood test, change my phone number so perhaps they will call, and then figure out some other things.  But, without messaging, I might never know they called.  I'm not sure how fubar the phone and system is.

I still have to figure out the messaging service problem.  Verizon tech seems completely ignorant.  Then again, when I went in to set up this phone, they took two hours, because when they billed, their system forgot to add the full bill.  So, while I paid ~$20, it hung up setting up the phone because it wanted another ~$5!  It looks like the fed had induced companies to be politically complaint with the left and swamp.  The customer doesn't even matter.  They aren't working for us.

Yeah.  Well.  It's the way it goes.  No company does what it was built to do.  They are all converged at this point.  You are on your own.  This isn't meant to sustain civilization, what of it we ever had, but to end it and put something else in place.  I don't think you will like what is going to replace it, or how that is to be finalized.  The cities are an example, but a small one on the scale of things.  Later.
